Obama's Energy Policy

In recent days, the Obama administration simultaneously increased threats to our national security and cost our economy millions of jobs and trillions in GDP.  First, it decided to cede control of one our scarce uranium mines to Russia.  I guess Putin is promising the uranium harvested will not be used to develop nuclear weapons.  http://ncaabbs.com/showthread.php?tid=467186

In yet another brilliant decision, the Obama administration imposed a 7 year ban on drilling for oil on the Eastern Gulf of Mexico. http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/12/01/obama.gulf.drilling/ 
The administration cited the BP oil spill crisis as the reason for its decision.  Yes, the same crisis the administration prolonged by not doing anything for nearly a month, and then allowing entry into the Gulf of vessels from other countries offering assistance in the clean up.  Department of Interior Secretary cites the BP oils spill as "one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history."  Question is, where is the oil now, and why haven't we heard of all the lingering after effects?  That is, except for the lingering unemployment in the Southeastern United States where many depended on oil industry.  Economist Joseph Mason estimates the Obama decision to ban drilling will cost the country millions of jobs, and trillions in lost GDP.http://news.yahoo.com/s/usnw/20101202/pl_usnw/DC11036
